Sprint appears to be ready to make amends for its poor timing when it comes to HTC PPC-6800 Titan. As we remember, the release of this phone was earlier delayed for October. The latest projected launch timeframe for the PPC-6800 is now set for mid-June. However, we constantly stress that these dates are estimates and should be considered as internal projections only.
It does appear that Sprint has made considerable efforts to ship the PPC-6800 later this month. In order to do so, Sprint has decided not to offer EV-DO Rev A right away, but provide a firmware update to enable it later this year. It is expected though, that the phone will come out with Windows Mobile 6, making it the first Windows Mobile 6 device to be released on CDMA in the United States.
By launching the PPC-6700, the first Windows Mobile 5 Phone Edition device, Sprint has maintained consistent first-strike launches in the Windows Mobile sector. On the contrary, Sprint is not that strong in firmware updates. UTStarcom and Sprint canceled their announced firmware update to give the PPC-6600 EV-DO and failed to issue the critical AKU 3 update for the PPC-6700.
